Not just religions. Also scientists working in cultures other
than the "Western" one. One of the points brought out in this thread is
that the "big bang" cosmology is based on a very limited set of
observations--i e physical astronomy.
Explaining the universe with the "big bang" cosmology is about as
satisfying and as accurate as explaining the origin of milk as "something
that comes from the grocery store" and arguing about whether it comes in
bottles or cartons.
